Servoy ISV Assurance Program
Do you have a vertical market software product? Are you considering creating one? The Servoy ISV (Independent Software Vendor) Assurance Program offers ISVs a unique service to migrate from their current development platform to enterprise-level Java at a fixed cost and in a fixed timeframe. Rapid and efficient cross-deployment (simultaneously) to Web, Mobile and SaaS applications -- complete with AJAX capabilities -- is now possible.
Customers and End-users Demand "Sexy" Applications Most vertical and horizontal products developed by ISVs are based on 3GL and 4GL environments. Vendors are aware that these outdated applications have become a very big problem -- customers and end-users alike are starting to reject software products that store and process mission critical data being developed with proprietary technology. They want (and need) modern applications featuring standards-based technologies like SQL, Java, Ajax and SaaS. However, for many companies, moving mission critical apps to Java and SQL is a very complicated and costly process. Developers need to be retrained; and re-writing an application in Java or .Net typically takes 5-10 times more effort than in the current 4GL environments. Pre-scheduled Timeframe Against a Fixed Budget The new Servoy ISV Assurance Program enables ISVs to migrate their applications to an enterprise-class, open standards-based Java technology environment quickly and easily -- within a pre-scheduled timeframe and against a fixed budget. With the ISV Assurance Program, Servoy resolves both the time factor and complexity issues facing ISVs looking to migrate their outdated applications -- by making Java development faster and easier; and by providing ISVs with the training, consultation and on-site development necessary to help them successfully re-write their applications in Servoy. The ISV Assurance Program also means working jointly with ISVs to expand their business to new and existing customers. Jumpstart Development The Servoy ISV Assurance Program has been optimized and honed over the past 4 years with experience in the field. Servoy has helped over a dozen ISVs rewrite their flagship products by setting up a joint timeline; a pre-agreed upon budget; and minimizing the fear factor often facing an ISV organization. Servoy will send in a team of programmers, application developers, and experts to help jump-start the project; assist with re-training the ISV's programming staff; as well as provide tech support to ensure deadlines are met and product launches are hit in a timely manner. ISVs know that the key to their success is in offering niche-relevant products that are easy to use and can be updated quickly, deployed easily and maintained at as low a cost as possible. Servoy helps to meet all these goals. ISV Frameworks Servoy has a full litany of frameworks exclusively for our ISVs. These tried-and-true frameworks will get your project jump started.

"The Servoy ISV Assurance Program helped us to migrate our legacy 4GL-based application into a modern Java application in less than 6 months! Our product contains over 20 man-years of ongoing development -- so this is a fabulous achievement and we couldn't be happier with the result." -Michael Phelps, CEO adBlocks ISV Assurance is the Total Deal The Servoy ISV Assurance Program consists of everything an ISV needs to move to Servoy: Servoy Licenses, Consulting, Project Management and Training.

Aberdeen On Legacy Migration "A recent Aberdeen Group study of 100 companies shows legacy application migration costs are at a median of $250,000 US. For smaller companies with tight budgets, large enterprises with many applications, and ISVs with limited R&D budgets, the key to economic efficiency is migration technology efficiency. Servoy's program can help ISVs get and stay on today's technology curve without spending a fortune.? -Peter S Kastner, Vice President and Director for Enterprise Integration Research, The Aberdeen Group. |
